EARLY SNOWFALL TURNS THE LODGE AT BRYCE CANYON INTO WINTER WONDERLAND, JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

The men who gathered in that blistering humid room in Philadelphia in 1787 to create our governing document did not represent a cross section of the American population. Unlike most Americans, they were wealthy lawyers and planters and most were extremely well-educated. Though they may not have all attended universities, they were well read in history and political philosophy.

Since Nancy Pelosi became House Speaker in 2007, Republicans have spent an incredible amount of time and energy pushing back against her progressive policy proposals. That's why it's odd that the GOP's newest drug pricing bill is a watered-down copy of one of Pelosi's worst ideas.

  A recent survey conducted by the Victims of Communism and polled by YouGov, a research and data firm, found that 70% of millennials are likely to vote socialist and that one in three millennials saw communism as "favorable."
